Hope, Resilience, and a place called Home!
When we talk about mental health and wellbeing, it’s easy to forget how deeply those things are tied to one simple human need, a place to call home.
A home is more than bricks and mortar. It’s where love lives. It’s where we can shut out the noise, take your bra off or watch football after a long day of work and simply be. But for some this place called home, which many of us take for granted, simply does not exist.
Homelessness isn’t always the result of one big life event. Sometimes it’s just a series of small, unfortunate events, such a job loss, a relationship breakdown, a mental health crisis that goes unsupported. A few wrong turns, and the life we thought we knew can unravel quickly. The truth is, it could be me, it could be any of us.
Behind every person struggling with homelessness, there’s a story of resilience of someone trying to hold on, to rebuild, to believe again. These are people who have faced unimaginable challenges and still find the strength to wake up, to hope, and to fight for a better day. Because having a home isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic human right. It’s the foundation for healing, growth, and recovery.
So let’s open the conversation. Let’s talk about homelessness not as “their problem” but as our problem. Everyone deserves a place called home. Because when we give someone a home, we give them back their dignity, their peace, their chance to start again and a place to scream into your pillow (with no judgement) after a long and stressful day.
And that’s where true wellbeing begins at a place you truly feel at peace.
Kier, have a word with your Billionaire mates please so we can end this sooner and really see the people of the United Kingdom have their own little kingdom to call home.
